Chiltern Railways collaborates with the Feathers Association on community mural at London Marylebone station
A community mural was unveiled at London Marylebone this morning (Wednesday 30 October) as part of a new partnership between Chiltern Railways and the Feathers Association. The new 22-metre community mural was opened by Cllr Robert Rigby, Lord Mayor of Westminster on the Rossmore Road bridge behind Marylebone Station.
Both organisations share deep roots in the Marylebone area, where the Feathers has been based for over 50 years after its founding in 1934 in the heart of Marylebone. Chiltern Railways recently celebrated the 125th anniversary of Marylebone station alongside community partners and local residents.
The artworks, created by Llanelli-based street artist Steve ‘Jenks’ Jenkins, are part of Carmarthenshire County Council’s Ten Towns Project.
This project provides funding to support the economic recovery and growth of rural towns across the county.
The Cross Hands piece is located on the side of the Squires and Lane Hair Academy and Salon.
San Shyn, a young street artist from Saudi Arabia, has revealed a new, 80 foot public art mural outside the Saudi Embassy in the heart of Mayfair, London. The project has been realised as part of a KSA-UK cross-cultural collaboration, with the piece being installed by London-based graffiti artist, Cept, one of the UK’s most highly respected and pioneering graffiti artists. Promoted by Edge Of Arabia, the collaboration developed organically through word of mouth within the grassroots street art community. The work demonstrates an artistic exchange at the intersection of two cultures and explores their commonalities.
